Since 1990, the highest office in Poland has been elected by Polish citizens through secret ballot in universal, direct and equal elections. Since then, there have been six presidential elections in Poland won by Lech Wałęsa (1990-1995), Aleksander Kwaśniewski (1995-2000 and 2000-2005), Lech Kaczyński (2005-2010), Bronisław Komorowski (2010-2015) and Andrzej Duda (since 2015). Focusing on the psychological dimension of perception mechanisms, the aim of the analysis was to find what is the perception of presidents of Poland after 1989. We also wanted to know if respondents' age differentiate between the perceptions of presidents of Poland since 1990. Using multiple stages analysis (including exploratory research, factor analysis, competent jurors method) we identified four factors named: potency, honesty, social competence and expertise. The study (N=949) showed that the perception of heads of state is significantly different regarding all the factors and significant differences in the perception in specific way explaining in the article.
